I just recently downloaded the latest Yamaha USB driver for my MOXF8 (1.9.10.2) from the Steinberg stite I couldn’t find it on the Yamaha site. It downloaded properly, so then I connected my USB cable from MOXF to computer. It connected properly as well, so then I opened Cubase 8. As it was loading, one thing I did notice was that with previous USB versions, it would ask me if I wanted to switch from the Generic version to MOXF ASIO USB instead. That didn’t happen this time around. Cubase loaded, and I opened a new session. As I tried to change the Audio Inputs to the MOXF USB, it was listed. Only the Generic ASIO driver was listed. I have posted pictures about the driver I’m using and how in Cubase (Audio Inputs) I only have listed the Generic ASIO driver. This is definitely not the first time I’ve done this, but this is the first time I’ve actually had problems with the Yamaha USB driver not connecting properly with my computer. Would appreciate someone’s help with this matter.

However, it apparently hasn’t gone smoothly, and some important files, or the links to them, are missing. For example, Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V1.9.10-2 for Windows is listed at the site I gave, but doesn’t currently link to a download.

The difference between the older and current version, according to a Yamaha site that has the later version:
V1.9.8 to V1.9.10
* Solved a problem in which noise may occur in a certain environment.
* Solved a problem in which a certain DAW software would terminate abnormally when switching the sample rate setting.

If you’re not experiencing either of those problems, you might try using v1.9.8, or v1.9.9 which is at the link above.

What size was the v1.9.10-02 zip file you downloaded? Please also let us know the full names and dates of the files within that zip.

Since I’m also Steinberg user, I have seen at Steinberg site that Yamaha-Steinberg USB driver is updated to v1.9.10-2 for Windows. But, when I’ve checked this, it seems that this update is only for Steinberg hardware like UR audio interfaces. There are no Yamaha keyboards mentioned. So I’ve decided to keep the latest 1.9.9 USB driver.

5pin: I already checked the setup.exe for the USB driver, and it states 6-29-17. For some reason, it’s not giving me the date this actual driver was created.

nbadesign: I did notice that, so I’ll probably just end up going back to the v1.99. BTW, is your computer recognizing that particular driver when connecting to Cubase? And is your keyboard updated to the latest MOXF OS firmware?

The Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V1.9.10-2 for Win 10/8.1/7(SP1) from this location…
http://download.yamaha.com/file/69414
...has the setup.exe dated 6/7/17. Sometimes Yamaha makes minor changes in files without changing the version number. (I’m unaware of anything more recent, such as 6/29/17 you’ve mentioned.)

I’m not suggesting that particular driver would resolve your problem, but it might be worth trying if you haven’t already done so. Otherwise the V1.9.9 driver should work, as long as you’re not experiencing the problems I mentioned previously.

I’m having trouble with my new Dell/Windows 10 loading/starting the new Yamaha Steinberg USB driver (date created 6/7). Windows sees it but gives an error message and says it cannot start. I have MotifXS8 and if I uninstall the driver and connect the mxs8 my laptop recognizes it, but says it has no driver. If I install the driver, it lists the driver under Sound Controllers, but then doesn’t recognize the motifxs8 and if I try to manually connect the two (associate the driver with the motif) it errors out and says it cannot start. Ugh! What to do??

Sorry for late reply, I missed this for some reason. My MOXF is updated with the latest firmware v1.12 and I’m using YS USB driver 1.99. Laptop is HP with Windows 7 64bit and I have both Cubase 8 pro and 9 pro (latest updates of both versions). Recognized driver when MOXF is connected is “Yamaha-Steinberg MOXF”.
